Thanks for the info! Anyone else think its something different? My guess was that it was something for the landline coming in the house. I have no reasoning, just a guess. Definitely need my garage door opener. Thanks again,

Huh... Interesting that my door bell only intermittently worked when I bought the house. Wonder if it was because the people that remodeled the house sprayed over it when they painted the garage? In any case, I installed a wireless doorbell at this point. Thoughts on eliminating it considering the fact that I have a wireless setup now? Thanks much for the help!
